Bug#305173: lintian.debian.org: discern between maintainer not found and no lintian errors

[Thijs Kinkhorst <kink@squirrelmail.org>]

Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist


When clicking the link from the PTS to the Lintian report, and a
maintainer has no Lintian warnings, you get the message "Either there's
no record of packages from that maintainer, or the maintainer's packages
are Lintian-clean."

I really dislike those "or" error messages: the program can find out
what's exactly going on, so it should report what that is. If a
maintainer is lintian-clean it should state just that, and if that
maintainer is not found than the 404 is appropriate behaviour.

Thanks for your consideration.
